Squint

As I look at the pictures I just took attempting to capture the way
I'm feeling right now,
I notice something.
It's kind of funny because we spend our whole lives searching for some
kind of clarity. But when I look at these pictures, I see something.
It's a part of our nature and kind of a force of habit to delete
blurry pictures.
But I didn't.
I just kept taking new shots.
When I went back through I was suprised by what I saw.
I noticed that it was often the blurry pictures that captured my
current state the best.
The muffled spoke louder than the clear.
And it forced a thought into my head.
We spend our whole lives
looking for..
searching for..
not resting until we find..
Clarity.
Never stopping to think that maybe the meaning we've been looking for
isn't in the most minute pixels, but in the bigger picture.
It's not that the details don't matter, because they do.
But maybe we have to take the step back.
And squint our eyes.
To actually see the message hidden in plain sight.
The one that's been there all along but we've missed.
Because although we may have been looking at the right picture, we've
been looking at it wrong.
So I'm taking the time...
To tilt my head and squint.
